Can I mix up my cardio with abs, like the way we do in SuperSets. Say for instance, I do 1 set of a ab exercise immediately I switch to treadmill and run for about 2-3 minutes. After that I again comeback to ab and then cardio. Repeat this a cycle . Is this a good idea to do it

Well that depends...You do not want to get your heart rate up and then jump off the treadmill and immediately lay down on the floor to do crunches (causes dizziness). You could probably safely do a hanging crunch though. This is only my opinion but I would superset abs with anaerobic training or just do them after my cardio after my heart rate come down alittle. I think you will have good results that way.
